Fire Department Master Plan

In early 2003, the Municipal Council of the City of Maple Ridge directed a review of the existing fire service delivery model and asked for advice on what the Fire Department will need to look like in order to serve a growing community. Council directed the Fire Chiefs and the General Manager: Corporate & Financial Services, who then enlisted the help of the Assistant Chiefs and paid-on-call Firefighters, in developing the Fire Department Master Plan.
